Manchester United could make a move for Fulham's highly rated left winger Ryan Sessegnon, if you believe the Express.

They're suggesting that United are planning on spending £50m to land the Fulham man, who is stalling on a contract extension at Craven Cottage.

Sessegnon, 18, appears to be reluctant to commit his future with the threat of relegation looming large over the south Londoners.

United already have tied Anthony Martial to a long-term deal, but Sessegnon is the right age for United, who Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says won't be signing big-name players this summer. Sessegnon has failed to nail down a regular starting place under boss Claudio Ranieri.

If United want to make use of the #Davesaves hashtag beyond next year then they'll reportedly need to stump up at least £350,000-a-week. See, that's what happens when you sign players like Alexis Sanchez on a free and give them £400,000-a-week.

Costa adds weight to Manchester United rumours

Juventus wide man Douglas Costa has been linked to both Manchester United and Chelsea over the past few days, but Costa's social media activities in the past 24 hours have accelerated the Red Devils rumours.

An initial story linking Costa with a move to Old Trafford was released by Calciomercato, but it was a follow-up story by Sport Musing that was liked -- and quickly deleted -- by Costa on Twitter. The Sun says that has sent United fans' hearts aflutter at the prospect of landing the £60 million man.

Costa has started just seven of his 17 appearances this season and appears to be out of favour with Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri.

Arsenal interested in adding Gbamin

Arsenal are reported to be interested in signing Philippe Gbamin from FSV Mainz 05 this summer, reports RMC.

The 23-year-old Ivorian has been in impressive form in the Bundesliga this season, and Gunners boss Unai Emery is said to have been monitoring the player with a view to lodging a bid at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

Gbamin can play in defence or in midfield, and Arsenal might have to go above and beyond the £31m an unnamed club is rumoured to have bid for his services in January.

While that bid was rejected, Gbamin's head appears to have been turned; he has added fuel to the rumours by stating he feels "ready for the next step."

Arsenal also are being heavily linked with Nicolas Pepe from Lille. The French club are rumoured to be prepared to sell for £50m.

Liverpool planning summer spend

It appears that Jurgen Klopp is looking to strengthen his squad this summer regardless of whether or not he ends the club's 29-year wait for the league title.

Firstly, the Mirror are reporting that Tottenham fear Liverpool will hijack their move for Adrien Rabiot from Paris Saint-Germain.

Rabiot was a target for many clubs in the January transfer window, Tottenham included, but he decided to delay a move following the death of his father. And now Liverpool are said to be stepping up their interest, with Barcelona and Arsenal also sounding out a move for the PSG outcast.

Moreover, Liverpool also are being linked with Leeds winger Jack Clarke, according to the Express. Klopp is rumoured to have scouts keeping tabs on the Elland Road sensation. Clarke's availability might depend on whether or not his side can win promotion to the Premier League.

Toffees have Rakitic in their sights

Under-fire Everton boss Marco Silva is said to be planning a summer spend in light of his side's recent poor form, and wantaway Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic could top his list.

Rakitic is said to be looking to leave Camp Nou in the summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, and Everton director of football Marcel Brands is under pressure to deliver a top signing after Everton's failure to climb despite spending big in recent seasons.

Brands has previous experience with Barca after bringing Andre Gomes to Goodison Park on loan from the Catalan giants, and he might use his contacts to try to tempt Croatian star Rakitic to Merseyside.

One thing is for sure: If Rakitic does leave Barca, there won't be a shortage of suitors. The 30-year-old has scored 34 goals in 247 appearances and is said to also be interesting Inter Milan, among others.

Tap-ins

- Staying in the blue half of Merseyside, Silva could be lucky to be in a position to buy anyone, should reports from the Express come to fruition. They're suggesting that Everton are lining up a sensational move for Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa.

- Leicester City boss Claude Puel has hinted he could be in the market for a striker in the summer. With Jamie Vardy out of form, Puel told the Leicester Mercury that he might need to reinforce his attacking options.

- Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt has been linked to pretty much every club in England's top six in the past few months, but England's finest are said to be put off for a move for the youngster as a result of his links to agent Mino Raiola -- that's according to the Mirror.
